punishment or hope of reward, and it
is a pleasure to be able to say that
most of us appreciate their labor at
its true value, and return them sincere
and earnest thanks for the pleasant
hours they have given us. They go
into retirement in Winter quarters,
but will emerge, like the chrysalis,

Pretty Mabel, in a fluter of delight, eag-

the counting-room.
Her loving, trustful soul of love was in

ment later.
The latter thrilled to happy conscious
ness of her affection, and then grasped the
extended hand of Mr.. Elliott.
Well, Giulio, are you becoming fas il

the dull facts of its details too practical to
engross you?"
The business is most congenal," re-
piled Giulio.

over TO the desk where Vance sat

KAMTSCHATKA'S MIXED HOSTS.
A Pen-Picture of Native Village
and it's Diverse Inhabitants.

The aboriginals of Kamtschatka ara
Kamtschatdalcs and Koriaks; but little
is known of their origin, and both have
decreased in numbers since the Russian
occupation, says Chambers Journal.
The country is now chiefly peopled by
Siberian Russians, and by race the
product of intermarriage between them
and the original Kamtschatdales. This
new race it is usual to distinguish as
Kamtschatkans, and greedy, disagree
able kind of people they seem to be.
They are OF low order and live in sum-
mer III either wretched huts by the
river banks or in lofts above the sheds
in which they hang their fish. In win
ter they have semi-subtereanean dwell
ings.
The pure Kamtschatdales, on the
other hand, appear to he a kindly and
hospitablc people, The houses of the
better class of natives Of Russian blood
are usually log built, unpainted, con-
tanning two and sometimes, but rarely,
four rooms. in which will be found a few
chairs, a rough deal table, tawny gilt
eikon of lhe Russian Church and any
number of cockroaches and unmention-
able insects. The houses are in many
places raised above the ground, either
upon stones, like haystacks, or upon
pillars. The floors are boarded and the
house is warmed by means of huge
brick stove built III between the rooms,
which develops immense heat
The diet OF these "upper classes is
besides fish-milk, sour cream, rye
bread and bilbeiries. The bilberry
seems to be the only fruit in Kamtsc at
ka. A few patches of potatoes and
cabbages occasionally surround the bet
ter villages; but, unless at Melcova,
there are no cereals, although it is stated
that rye would do very well in some
parts of the valley of the Kamtschatka
River. The harvest of the river and
the sea is enough, however, to occupy

would not pay their subscription, and
obtained judgment in each for full
amount of the claim. OF these, twenty
eight men made affidavits that they owned
no more property than the law allowed
them, thus preventing attachment. Then
they, under the decision of the Supreme
Court, were arrested for petty larceny,
and bound over in the sum of $500 eacn.

Alta recent meeting held in Alexandria,
Virginia, to further the project to build
grand avenue from Washington to
Mount Vernon, it was explained that the
proposed avenue would run for two
miles through the Arlington property,
and that it was expected that the Govern
ment would construct at least that
portion. The various states would be
asked to send trees to be planted in the
parking along the borders of Mount
Vernon avenue, and it is hoped that the
thirteen original States would be suffi-
ciently interested to place in life form,
in bronze or marble, the signers of the
Declaration or independence.

Thirteen Dogs and Eleven Cats

From the Baltimore Americana

From the Baltimore Americana

eleven cats in the house, and we couldn't

arrangement with the animals, so that

day, after his wife had told tie lnas4s-
trate she and her husband couldn't get
along. She complained that the do
nestle breach was widening every dav.
The man rested his head on his hand
and listened to the story, exaggerated to
his mind, the wife told of her troubles.
She said bat little of the dogs and cats;
but when her husband spoke of them it
was with sorrow and suffering. The
Squire advised them to try, if possible,
to adjust their differences lovingly, and
notlet little tIifie like thirteen cats and
eleven dogs wreck their happiness. 1t
was evident the animals were burden

oughly detected. The couple went out

to satisfactory terms. The man con-
sented to try life at home again if the
number of animals were cut down in
some proportion, say one-half. She
wanted all her pets with her The two
left the station. The husband refused
to go home to be greeted with those
playful yelps and meows, so grating to
his nerves, but music so pleasant to his
spouse. He stood on the corner tile
picture of sadness, and looked at the
splendors in the Western sky as the sun
was sinking and thought, no doubt, of
life in the beyond, where neither cats
nor dogs disturb the tranquility of the
soul. Something conquered him; it may
be the look from his wife on the other
side of the street. With the expression
of martyr on his face, he followed his
wife down the street and the two went
home together.
